Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a tailgate leak? It looks to be either from the rear tailgate hatch not sealing properly, the inner rear light units on the tailgate not being properly sealed, or maybe the gas strut mounting points. Basically water is pooling on top of the tailgate seal near the boot latch and from closer inspection appears to be getting in behind the internal trim whilst the tailgate is shut. It then drips out onto the top of the tailgate seal, where it will either drip back into the wheel well or, if the tailgate is opened, can be drained outside the car. Opening the tailgate also seems to lead to any water still trapped behind the trim running back up the tailgate and out of the trim at the top of the rear window. Any thoughts before I / the dealer attack it?

You jest but that's exactly the direction some manufacturers are moving in with their 'mobility as a service' subscription approach, as opposed to 'ownership' approach...

Old thread but checked this on our new to us SE last night and sure enough one reverse light on the wrong side... It's pretty bright but still... Very cheapskate in trying to differentiate between models. Checking online it looks like wiring plugs may be present so come darker weather I may be hitting eBay for a replacement LHS tailgate light!

What does the red light look like?

If the vibration is at a constant speed regardless of gear, engine speed or 2/4 cylinder mode its got to be something that rotates with the wheels at that speed, so tyre / wheel / brakes / driveshaft / CV joints. It can't be gearbox, clutch or engine related. Have you checked all tyres for any bulges or damage? Have you hit any big potholes that could have damaged them or a wheel? Also what make are the tyres as I have heard of certain makes having balance problems as they wear.

What's actually wrong with it? Can you give a better description or some pictures as that might help others help you...

I'd be amazed if that's OE... Especially if it was wrapped in with what looks to be the washer pipe as I'd have expected the two to be kept separate. To me it looks like a repair.

No issue like that with our Kodiaq but it's on 18" at 2.4 bar. Recommended pressure is 2.3 as stated earlier. Eco pressure is 2.7 bar all round IIRC and fully loaded is 2.6 front and 3.0 rear.

When it does it are you close to a slowing car in front or has there been a parked car you are approaching or something coming the other way close to the central white line. If so it's the autonomous braking system kicking in and normal.

I read the last point there as 'if this symbol does not flash when the trailer board is hitched then one of the trailer turn signals is defective'. ie it would normally flash if bulbs are working but doesn't flash if they are not.

Is there a definitive list of models, years and engines affected yet as that would be very useful for people to check

Hmmm... Strange! The chassis no should be visible in a 'window' in the black surround of the bottom right of the windscreen. That might get you the code but only if it is the original radio. I'd be trying to get the glovebox open to see what's in there...

I had this issue on our Octavia and found hard rubber blind wiring grommets work really well. Just slit them with a knife and push them on and they grip what's left of the rusted pin. https://www.toolstation.com/rubber-grommet/p79733

Re the radio if it is the original one it should be coded to the car. Turn the radio off then ignition off then ignition on and then radio back on. It should then check codes with the car, clear safe mode and work fine

My guess would be an ABS sensor on its way out... Any fault codes in that system showing up?

Morning! Just checking if anyone has successfully done some basic coding changes on a kodiaq using carista. I'm after enabling thing like alarm chirp on lock, cornering fogs and the like on our new to us 2018 SE. Cheers

And finally got it... Only a 1.4 TSI act 4x4 SE with a few extras but very pleased so far... Just need to make a few tweaks with vcds or similar.

There's a thread in the Octavia III section about fitting a reversing camera to the Octavia on an MQB platform and having taken a look it seems it should fit without coding to earlier Kodiaqs. It's what I'll probably be trying when I finally get the car in a few days and have time. Edit: Found it! How To - Reverse Camera Fitting Guide - Skoda Octavia Guides - BRISKODA

Cheers... I'm hopefully collecting the car in a couple of days so can check the Bolero unit numbers then... Touch wood given SWMBO's history of reversing 'new to us' cars (takes her a while to get used to them if you know what I mean)

If it's Halogen then Twenty20 or osram nightbreaker laser seem to get good reviews.

I would never accept an unbalanced wheel regardless of where on the car it was being fitted. Not doing so is very poor on the part of whoever fitted them.

Sorry - just another thought - our headunit is a Bolero (so no Nav) Presumably this would still work regardless?

Is here a 'setting' to turn the Aux input on (I vaguely remember there is on ours but it's a different headunit). Otherwise might the Aux socket have been disconnected at some point?

Maybe a stupid question... but has anyone tried this on a Kodiaq? It does say it should work on one but would be good to have some evidence... ;-)

Our 2007 Octavia 4x4 estate will be going soon so I was starting to clear it out and wondered if any of the following would be worth 'salvaging' for sale before it goes... bearing in mind the dealer will probably just send it to auction. Non-Canbus HID kit (Londoncolour kit) Parrot bluetooth kit (LS3200 colour) Silver coloured 'Swing MP3' radio surround 16" Apollon spare wheel (never been on the car) Jack and 'toolkit' etc. OE Rubber boot mat Boot nets OE carpet mats Sunglasses holder (grey) Rear interior individual reading lights (not the single large light unit) Any thoughts?
